As soon as I learnt of the theme for this challenge, I thought of this image of Ruby, and the associated sentiment, by Bugaboo Stamps.

I painted her with twinkling H2O's

Here is a view of the sheen and 'twinkle' they give. I added to the sparkle with a touch of gold ribbon and a bow.

The chocolates in her hand were embellished some rhinestones, and some others were placed on two of the corners of the image panel.

Lastly, the sentiment. Not exactly theologically correct, but good for a smile.

The image panel was sponged with Tea Dye and Walnut Stain distress inks before being mounted over a dark brown base, to which I had added some washi tape. The final detail was the faux stitching in gold.

Chocolate and I have a love-love relationship....LOVE the sentiment- although I do still want to go to Heaven- chocolate or not... : )Loving your embellished choc- with gems, loving the stitching and the Twinkling H2O's are a fab compliment to the image!

Tooo funny my friend!!! Love it! Hope all is quieting down for you Maxine. Sounds like you have been very busy. Saying a prayer for you as you mentioned something in the neighborhood had been going on in the first post I commented on today. Big hugs!!
